Ep 7. Christening

Michael Scott is a man who is always filled with surprises. In season 7 episode 7 of The Office, titled Christening, Michael pulls out all the stops to make his assistant Erin's life easier. The episode revolves around the christening of Jim and Pam's baby, Cece, and the hilarity that ensues as Michael takes on the role of a godfather.

As always, the episode starts with a meeting at Dunder Mifflin Scranton, where everyone is discussing the upcoming christening. Jim and Pam have invited all their coworkers, including Dwight, to the event. However, Michael is particularly excited about the christening, as he sees himself as a potential godfather to Cece. Despite being told otherwise, Michael believes that Jim and Pam have not yet decided on a godfather for their baby. He takes it upon himself to show why he would be the perfect choice.

Throughout the episode, Michael tries to impress everyone with his maturity and responsibility, hoping to convince Jim and Pam that he is the right person to be their child's godfather. However, his antics often backfire, leading to some hilarious outcomes. For instance, when he is asked to buy a gift for the baby, he ends up buying a giant plasma screen TV instead, believing that this is what babies want. When he is caught sleeping in the christening ceremony, he tries to cover it up by claiming that he was talking to God.

Meanwhile, Erin is struggling with her job as Michael's assistant. She is finding it hard to keep up with his demands, which have become increasingly bizarre. Michael, sensing her stress, tries to alleviate the pressure by teaching her some time management techniques. However, his idea of time management is to teach her how to procrastinate, which only leads to more chaos. Eventually, Erin reaches her breaking point and has to confront Michael about his behavior.

The other characters also have their own subplots in the episode. Dwight, who sees himself as a potential godfather for Cece, tries to make a case for why he would be the best choice. He brings along an impressive resume, complete with a list of his previous godparent experiences. However, his bragging only alienates other coworkers, who see him as being self-centered.

Meanwhile, Jim and Pam are dealing with their own issues, as they contemplate the responsibilities of parenthood. They are worried about how they will be able to balance their work and family life, especially with Pam's recent promotion. However, their love for their daughter shines through, and they are determined to make everything work.

Overall, season 7 episode 7 of The Office titled Christening is a hilarious and heartwarming episode, filled with memorable moments and great performances from the cast. It showcases the unique personalities of all the characters and emphasizes the importance of family and friendship.
